A.R.E. Ascend PA-26271-040 Ice Cap Truck Cap - Tacoma 5'

The Ice Cap version makes the Ascend enclosure a precise choice for 2024-or-newer Toyota Tacoma short-bed pickup. PA-26271-040 pairs removable fiberglass side panels with a steel structure rather than a permanently fixed shell.

Factory-style colour is only part of the fit decision: verify the short-bed measurement before purchase. Once installed, the enclosed cap offers weather-resistant seals and access through glazed sides and rear.

Verified vehicle fitment
